A slide has leaked that shows the LG Optimus G Pro smartphone, the follow-up to the Optimus G. The Optimus G Pro’s headliner feature is a new five-inch display with a resolution of 1920 x 1080.

A 1.7 GHz processor said to be the Snapdragon S4 Pro APQ8064 powers the device. The smartphone is also said to feature 2 GB of RAM, 32 GB of storage, LTE connectivity, 13MP rear camera, and a 3000 mAh battery. Other specifications that have leaked around the web claim that the smartphone will run Android Jelly Bean for the operating system and weigh in at about 160 g.

The phone features both One-Seg and NOTTV functionality that only works in Japan. We’ll no doubt see the Optimus G Pro on our shores sometimes this year, although without the TV functionality.

LOL. Such a narrow mind. These are supposed to be SMARTRphones. You use them for a little more than making phonecalls.

I don't call being able to move my shit from one phone to another device like a tablet or my PC unnecessary. I think it is pretty cool dropping a 2GB HD movie on my class 10 MicroSD, popping it into my Laptop or Tablet and watching it there.

I don't call having a spare charged battery on hand when the one in the phone dies unnecessary. Do you watch vids and play games on your phone? Use it to surf the web on WiFi? Use your phone as a hotspot for your laptop? You do that kind of stuff for a full day and you will be cursing LG for NOT giving you a means to swap your battery.

Currently using an SGS3 that can do all that and more. Maybe it doesn't have the horsepower of quad Cortex A15s but y'know what? It's a fucking PHONE. It does everything I said in my 1st paragraph (there really ain't that much difference between a 4.8" screen and a 5" screen). And I can swap batteries, and I can put all my portable shit on the MicroSD. Let's see this LG do that.

If LG puts my wishlist stuff on one of these phones, I will be right there at the front of the line to buy one.
